I would say most people don't realize that some of their property rights are being violated. How many people let alone common people would even try run code without an OS on an iDevice which is what you need to be able to do to run an other OS. They don't realize at a base level some their rights for property they bought have been locked down behind cryptography, and thus instead under control of apple. The thing is the boot rom does not need to shipped like this. Apple does have such devices that even they loan out to security researchers https://security.apple.com/research-device/ https://security.apple.com/research-device/. The only difference between that device and one they sell is some eFuses on the chip have not been blown yet (oh and some software to make poking around easier, but that's besides the point here). What I find crazy is apple only loans such devices out because they don't want to sell any hardware where they don't effectively reserve the right of exclusion.
